[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

 

César: It appears your hardware is sending different data. I put up a
new version for you that will dump the raw packets so I can take a look
at it. Please install the package at the link below, then do the
following.

Open two terminal windows. In the first, run 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse'
followed by 'tail -f -n0 /var/log/kern.log > alps-data.txt'. Now go to
the second window and run 'sudo moprobe psmouse'. Do the gesture that's
causing you to see the clicks, then press Ctrl-C in the window running
the tail command. It's probably best if you give that window focus
before doing the two finger drag so that the relevant data appears at
the end of the log.

If you don't mind, just email me alps-data.txt to avoid cluttering up
this bug even more (seth dot forshee at canonical dot com). Also, will
you let me know specifically what is and isn't working for you. Thanks!

Everyone else: Please don't install this version, it's just going to
clutter up your logs. Stick with version 0.3 for now. I plan to release
an update within the next day for general consumption.
